Recent reports indicate that more than 55 rockets have been fired from Israel into Lebanon in the past hour, as confirmed by the Israeli military's spokesperson. This latest development follows a previous incident where approximately 40 rockets were launched at Israel from southern Lebanon on Friday, as reported by the Israel Defense Forces.

Hezbollah militants have claimed responsibility for firing the rockets at Israeli artillery positions, citing recent Israeli attacks and expressing solidarity with the Palestinian people in Gaza. The ongoing exchange of fire between Israel and Lebanon has heightened tensions in the region and raised concerns about the potential for further escalation.

The Israeli military has stated that these rocket attacks are in response to provocations from Hezbollah and are aimed at protecting Israeli territory and citizens. Meanwhile, Lebanese authorities have condemned the Israeli aggression and called for an immediate cessation of hostilities to prevent further civilian casualties.
